kala ; visited the experimental trcc-i)lantinf4" |)l()ts above Kailiili, 

 Makawao, and, in coni])any with the man now in charge there, 

 went over the proposition of thinning ont the algaroba forest 

 on the government lands on the beach at Kihei. 



The fence at Waihou is satisfactorily completed. In the moun- 

 tain tree lot I found a dozen or more specimens each of three dif- 

 ferent pines and of incense cedar, firmly established and growing 

 vigorously. Some of the pines were between 6 and 7 feet in 

 height. In this ])lot are also various eucalyptus and other forest 

 trees set out under the direction of this division during the past 

 six years. Altiiough meager in number, the success of these in- 

 dividual trees shows that it is feasible to grow such tem]:)erate 

 zone species. Later, when it is found possible to undertake such 

 experimental planting on Mt. Haleakala in a more systematic 

 way, much benefit should result from it. 



The experimental plantation of eucaly])tus above Kailiili is in 

 charge of Mr. W. Hannestad, under a coo])erative arrangement 

 with the Maui Agricultural Company. A considerable variety of 

 species new to Hawaii have been planted here in the past two 

 years, to be tried out. The results so far make this experiment a 

 very .satisfactory one.
